I have been made recently aware of a ROBNETT/ROBINETT
connection in my POLLOCK/KIRKMAN line. Rachel Delony
POLLOCK, born 20 Aug 1828 in Lawrence Co,TN, died after
1920 most likely in Wayne Co, TN, daughter of John and
Elizabeth JENNINGS POLLOCK, married Joseph Staggs ROBNETT,
born 4 May 1828 in Wayne Co, TN, died 25 Jun 1905 in Wayne
Co, TN, son of John and Nancy STAGGS ROBNETT, in Wayne Co,
TN on 5 Sep 1849. My source for this information is a
book, DESCENDANTS OF ALLEN ROBNETT IN AMERICA, PART IV by
Irma Matthews Plott. The book was found in the Wayne Co,
TN library, Waynesboro, TN by a fellow Pollock researcher,
Imogene Parsley, July 13, 1999. Jean mailed me photocopies
of pertinent pages. But, there is no documentation, index
or pages numbers. I spent all day today in the NC Archives
going through the 1850-1920 Wayne Co, TN censuses to
verify the information. So far, the information, though
sketchy, is correct. Some of the line remained in Wayne Co
until 1900 or 1910 but my husband could only find one of
the children in the 1920 Wayne Co Census? Rachel ROBNETT
was found in the household of her daughter, Sallie Robnett
WEST. Rachel was 91 years old in 1920. Does anyone know of
others researching this particular ROBNETT/ROBINETT line?
It is my hope that someone may have information or can
point me to someone that will be of help.
